Well I've been lookin' to the north I've been lookin' to the south I've been lookin' for that city up upon that hill And though I've never really found it you know I'm never doubtin'
That His word let me tell ya, it's like a rock And that's where I'm gonna build That's where I'm gonna build
I've been lookin' to the west I've been looking to the east I've been looking for that river flowin' full of life And though I'm still yet to see it I know where it is leading
One day let me tell ya, one day real soon I will rise and meet Him in the sky I will meet Him in the sky
Chorus
So there's only, yeah, there's only so much we get to give And there's only, yeah, so many days left for us to live So as we stare into tomorrow Go ahead and take hold of today And let our fears give way to courage Met by the prayers that we pray We've been swept up by a Saviour Been promised a golden crown And we know our glory's waiting But His love is here and now Let me tell ya 'bout His love His love is right here His love is right now
And I've been lookin' to the fields I've been lookin' to the roads I've been lookin' for them gates swingin' open wide 'Cause I know when I get home I know they're never gonna close And He will, let me tell ya, He's gonna wipe The tears away from every eye Every tear from every eye
I've been lookin' to the hills I've been lookin' to the sea, yeah I've been lookin' for the morning star that's shining bright And I just gotta believe that it's shining on me 'Cause His face let me tell ya, how His face shines And He showers us with light Yes He showers us with light
Repeat Chorus
We've been swept up by a Saviour Been promised a golden crown And we know our glory's waiting But His love is here and now We've been swept up by a Saviour Been promised a golden crown And we know our glory's waiting But His love is here and now Let me tell ya 'bout His love His love is right here His love is right now
